In the Warlords Deep Dive video, series Lead Designer and Co-Founder Simon Bradbury also provides a rundown of the game’s titular warlords system. Castle defences also benefit from the addition of gunpowder with mounted hwacha able to mow down lightly armoured enemy infantry before they can approach your walls. Spread fire across enemy farmlands by catapulting bombs over their walls, blow apart defences with massive cannonballs or breach their castle walls with ancient rocket launchers. Coming in the form of thunder crash bombs, the fearsome mortar, hwacha fire arrow cart and more, each can be used in different ways to cripple and eventually conquer rival players. Stronghold: Warlords will be the first game in the strategy series to introduce gunpowder siege weapons. “This may sound silly, but spreading disease throughout an enemy castle can mean certain doom for soldiers and peasants alike! Just remember it takes longer to load up a water buffalo, so think of the pig as your rapid fire option”. “Our trebuchets can be loaded up with either pigs or water buffalo” said Nick Tannahill, Marketing Director at Firefly Studios.

From siege weapons like the thunder crash bombs and mortar to all-new warlord AI allowing players to recruit and command warlords across the map, Stronghold: Warlords will break new ground for the series: Fortnite Chapter 2 New GUNS (All of them with Stats) & MORE!įirefly Studios has released two developer diaries for Stronghold: Warlords, the latest historical RTS in their legendary ‘castle sim’ series.
